Tesco blunder means beers for 24p - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Finance



A computer glitch at Tesco stores in Scotland saw shoppers charged as little as 24p a beer, resulting in thousands of people rushing to cash in before it was fixed.

The mistake meant that in Scotland you could buy three cases of beer or cider for just £11. This meant you could pick up premium brands such as Magners, Budweiser, Stella Artois and Guinness for as little as 31p a can or 24p a bottle.

Word spread rapidly on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook as well as by word of mouth as customers rushed to cash in.

"Was casually chatting to my dad about the beer situation at Tesco, mention 3 crates for £11 and he sprints to the car," said Rebecca Macdougall.

Police were even called at one point to a Greenock store after heavy congestion was reported in the car park as customers rushed to take advantage of the mistake before it was fixed.

"Price glitch for beer has literally caused a stampede at the local Tesco. Tempers are flying in car park," reported Graham McKenzie on Twitter.

"Madness in Tesco tonight, seems their tills had an error and were selling 3 cases of beer for £10," reported John, Tweeting under the name saabbhoy.

A spokesman for the supermarket said this hit all shops in Scotland. "This was a pricing error affecting only a handful of lines on promotion for a short period. The price was corrected as soon as the error was spotted," he said.

Tesco has now corrected the error.

Cheap beer in Scotland, fcuk i bet it was like the gold rush.

Bargain sites like Hotukdeals and Moneysavingexpert make me laff, somebody will find a 90" 3D plasma telly for £1.79 then decide to tell the whole world about it instead of buying the fcuking lot, its the sort of thing the wife would do.

I did something like that once. Liverpool vs Celtic first goal after 28th minute @ 6/1 Bet365 and I came on here first to post it and you got on Slick while I was still posting my excitement. By the time I went to back it they'd fixed it. And they paid out on it.

He has a point though. I know where he's coming from. He's looking right into the soul of humanity there and we're coming up short in his opinion. I salute you Bosanac and your judgmental ways.

P.S. Is this in Betting Talk as some kind of... ironic type funny thing?
